Title: Charging Rechargeables while out of the house...
Post by: nickgregory on January 14, 2004, 10:30:50 PM

OK, so I got tired of carrying a couple of 6 V SLAs to shows when my rig can be run off of rechargeable AA's and have plenty of juice for most shows.  So I took the advice from this board and bought some rechargeables from Thomas Distributing, and a MH-C204F charger.  My question is admittedly a dumb one, but I never leave my homebrew SLAs charging when I am not around the house, but with these, I am considering it...am I taking a risk, or is this the normal practice for those that use rechargeables.

Any and all input is appreciated.

Nick

i always try to charge while im home, but i think you would be allright if youve got a good charger that is auto shutoff of auto float

I've leave home charging mine all the time, no problems.  You may not want to keep them in the plugged-in charger as storage, though.  I've also used the MH-C204F in my car with fine results.
